Boo!

I can't believe it's freakin' Hallowe'en already. Where the hell did the summer go?

I can't decide whether to pick up a little box of candy or not. Chances are I'll just end up eating it all anyway, cause I don't know if there are actually any kids in the apartment that would go trick-or-treating INSIDE the apartment building. Maybe I'll stop and get something. I can always bring it into work.

Wedding plans are slowly taking shape. We have a few details nailed down and the like.. so it's progressing. It's Tuesday, there's not much on TV tonight, so I might actually get the invitations designed. Hopefully.

My car parts should be in this week to. Finally I can get the stuff on the car that's been sitting in my garage for the last 6 months. Shocks, springs, front rotors & pads, a full rear disc brake swap with new rotors, pads, bearings... you name it. should handle like a mofo and stop on a dime. I got the last little bits to move my radio and install the XM unit too. :-)

Rock on!

Laters.

Busy Busy...

Man it's been busy the last little while.

Jeannette and I are officially engaged. Most know this already, but oh well. Wedding plans are coming along VERY slowly, although we do have a date set. September 8, 2007. Mark it in your daytimers.

Mom and I went to see Janet and Paul in Chicago for Canadian thanksgiving. Had a blast. Paul and I played golf, Mom and Janet went shopping. We had turkey, watched football, and had a really good time. Did the 3 mile trek around the lake. Nice place. Needed another day or so though. 10hours there and 10hours back is a lot for 2 days of visiting. Mom and I had a ball on the trip though.

Nette's been working pretty hard on Warriors season2. They are back in Barrie and as such, I'm a pseudo-bachelor again. But since work has been so busy, I'm not really a socialite. Work and sleep seems to be all I do. Still playing Ultimate. Fall league is about 1/2 way through and we are not too bad. Getting better every game which is nice. As people gel together and get used to how each plays, we should be pretty good by the end of the season.

My car is in some desperate need of some love. It's got new brakes, new suspension, some new belts and a Satellite radio to be installed in the next little while. Just waiting on my Shocks to arrive. After that I'll be broke and my credit card is going to on ICE for a while. Good thing I bought Nette's christmas present early! :-)

Work has been going very well. It seems after our slow spot in July, everything has picked up and we are just cruising right along. And we still have no website, old business cards, no advertising. It's been great that all of our work has come word of mouth - means we are doing something right.

Speaking of work, I'm learning how to do PHP and MySQL database manipulation and management. Kinda neat. I get to use the creative side of my brain to make it look nice, and the computer geek side of my brain to get it to code properly. It's been a learning curve but everything seems to be coming along nicely!

Anyhoo.. I should get back to work.... Laters y'all.
